>пункта о требованиях использования, из-за которого представители Apache проголосовали против принятия спецификации Java EE 6 вот FAQ Open Letter to Sun Microsystems http://www.apache.org/jcp/sunopenletterfaq.html     Q : What is a "field of use" restriction?     A : A "field of use" restriction is a restriction that limits how         a user can use a given piece of software, either directly or         indirectly.  To give a concrete example from the Sun / Apache         dispute, if Apache accepted Sun's terms, then users of a         standard, tested build of Apache Harmony for Linux on a         standard general purpose x86-based computer (for example, a         Dell desktop) would be prevented from freely using that         software and that hardware in any application where the         computer was placed in an enclosed cabinet, like an         information kiosk at a shopping mall, or an X-ray machine at         an airport.     Q : Is a "field of use" restriction incompatible with both open         source and free software principles?     A : Yes, both.  See the Open Source Initiative's open source         definition (http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd), most notably         section 6 and 10 and the Free Software Foundation's free         software definition         (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) most notably         freedom #0. без перевода понятно
